Great trip - Great place!!!
Posted Apr. 24, 2024 on HomeAwayWe have an amazing stay. Our unit was exactly as described. It has obvioulsy recently been re-modeled. We saw some of the adjacent units, this one is much nicer. The paint and tile work are first rate. The unit was spotless. The unit is nicely appointed. It had the required kitchen pots, pans and gadgets. If you are a serious chef, you might want to take your own knives. Those there are fine, I just like to use a really good knife.
Speaking of cooking, you do want to stock-up on groceries and supplies before you leave Willaimstaad. There is a decent grocery store, but it's still about a 30 minute drive.
The view, the pictures do not do it justice. The unit is maybe 50 ft from the water. The water!!! Crystal clear and the perfect temperature. Some fish to see, not a lot, but the nearby beaches were great.
The host Pete was the best! He responded to all inquired quickly and seems like a genuinely nice human being.
We are looking forward to our next trip to Curacao.

Jeff,
Thanks so much for your review. We treat this house like our second home and furnish it accordingly. I will look into getting some better knives.
Hope to hear from you in the future.

Excellent place near to the best beaches
Posted Apr. 12, 2024 on HomeAwayThe 8B was an excellent choice when we decided to visit Curacao. The apartment has everything to have a pleasant stay, the view is great and is located near to the best beaches of Curacao. Also Pete was always willing to help us with recommendations. We loved the place.

Absolutely Amazing!!
Posted Dec. 18, 2023 on HomeAwayThe pictures don't do it justice, the view from this rental is unbelievable! The unit is fully stocked with everything you need. The bed is very comfortable, and the air conditioning in the bedroom is nice, but not really necessary as there is a beautiful breeze coming off of the ocean. The resort area itself is very safe, and everyone we met was extremely friendly. Pool is nice and cool and clean, and deep enough to dive in to! Owner's were easy to communicate with and always replied quickly to our questions.
We rented a small SUV from D&D car rentals and explored all of the beaches and National Parks in the area. There's so many places to visit and things to see nearby! Our favourite beach was Porto Mari, although snorkeling with the sea turtles at Playa Grandi was amazing too.
We found the New California supermarket in Tera Cora had most of our grocery needs. Go to Playa Grandi around 4:00 pm when the fishermen come in! We bought fresh tuna fillets for $20US and they fed us for days.
The food, service, and view at the restaurant at Playa Forti next door were fantastic.
If you are planning a trip to Curacao then book this property! Thank you to our hosts for sharing their beautiful vacation home with us.

Wonderful Oceanfront Property
Posted Nov. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayThis was our first time in Curacao and we were so happy we chose this fantastic property. The ocean views from both the upper balcony and lower patio were incredible and the grounds were impeccably kept. The furnishings were very comfortable and the layout was just perfect for us. We had lovely breezes all week long and it was so easy to open up windows on three sides of the unit to let them come through. The stairs down to the water below and the ability to snorkel right in front of the unit were an added bonus. Communication with the owner was superb when we had questions. We greatly enjoyed dinners at the nearby Cactus Cafe and Playa Forti restaurants. We would not hesitate to stay here again!.

Awesome!
Posted Sep. 12, 2023 on HomeAwayWe enjoyed our stay in 8b. It was clean and well laid out. Had everything we needed. The view from upstairs bedroom and balcony is wonderful. Best part of my day was morning coffee looking out over the ocean. We were there 4 days and there were enough beaches and restaurants nearby to keep us happy. Best meal was Thai beef at Cactus cafe next door. Would definitely stay here again.

Like you, I also sit on the balcony, what a view. At times, I have seen tuna chasing bait fish. Watching the sunsets are also spectacular. Hope to hear from you again.

Perfect Location
Posted Aug. 9, 2023 on HomeAwayGreat host and property! We had everything we needed. We did a lot of diving and beach hopping. Curacao has the most beautiful beaches. This is our second stay at Marazul Dive Resort, and we love the location. The owners were great, very helpful and available when we had questions. We would definitely stay at this condo again.

Thank you for your kind words. We also fell in love with Curaçao and Marazul. Marazul is close to the best beaches. Hope to hear from you again.

Marazul Dive Resort 8B
Posted Sep. 30, 2022 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful 10 days at your townhouse! The views from your home were spectacular! The info given to us before we arrived was extremely helpful! Especially about what rental car company to use. We originally booked with Budget, but switched to D&D. The property was gorgeous and had everything we needed. The bed and trundle were both comfy. We easily snorkeled at the resort, Playa Forti, Playa Grandi, Playa Lagun, and Playa Kalki. Shete Boka was amazing even though the temp was 96°F. The only issues we had was the door key and the outside light not working, which we informed you about. Also, we weren't expecting renovations to be going on every day in the adjoining townhouse. If we decide to return to Curacao, we definitely will rebook this listing.

Thanks you for your review. The light has been replaced and we are in the process of changing the locking mechanism on the door. As for the work in the adjoining unit, we were also not aware of this. We will ask them to inform us in the future. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Beautiful and peaceful!
Posted Apr. 11, 2022 on HomeAwayWe've stayed a few places in Curacao and always end up preferring the western side and directly on the water. This rental was GREAT! The unit looks directly out onto the water and it's such a quiet area. Others walked around and chatted and our immediate neighbor was a friendly guy we spoke to over coffee each morning (also traveling from the States) but it was very easy to feel that isolated relaxation we were looking for. The unit basically had everything we needed (we're low-maintenance) and we didn't need converters/adapters for our US plugs. My husband says the snorkeling was top-notch. My only regret is we got too sunburned at Klein Curacao and so never got to enjoy the second-story deck, but the first-floor patio and the communal gazebo were both well-shaded so we just lived out there. :)
